Japan- 15th -19th Century
Mempo is the term for various types of facial armor worn by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.
Types of Japanese facial armor include the somen, menpō, hanpo and happuri.
Constructed from iron or leather, or a combination of both.
They may have a lacquered or rusted type of finish and can include a variety of facial details,
such as mustaches, fierce teeth and a detachable nose.
Most mempo with the exception of the happuri had a small hole underneath the chin for sweat drainage.
(Werner writing)
Bridwell one day asks if I whanna go up with him to diving board to scope out a new route he's eyeballed.
"Sure why not I ain't doing anything today."
So we're sitting there at the diving board and Jim is talking description of the pitches as he's seeing them thru his binoculars.
I was looking thru my binoculars and somehow his route and my route descriptions were completely different.
Suddenly Jim looks over at me and says:
"WTF are you looking at????"
So I point to what is now the route called "Zenith" which I thought he was looking at and going to call it Bushido. Jim then says:
"No ... I'm looking at this thing over here,"
as he points to the route now called Bushido.
"Uuugghh WTF is that POS man!!!!"
Jim says it looks pretty good. Then after a short while he scans over to potential "Zenith". After a long silence suddenly Jim says:
"Oh WOW!!! And that one is MINE too!!!!"
LOL .......

As for the song Turning Japanese,
"It could have been (turning) Portuguese, Lebanese, anything that fitted with that phrase.
It has nothing to do with the Japanese...
The first time the idea of masturbation came up was when we were touring America.
It was written about that 'turning Japanese' was an English phrase for masturbation, which it wasn't."
Guitarist Rob Kemp went on to say,
"It's a love song about somebody who had lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy;
turning Japanese is just all the cliches of our angst...
turning into something you never expected to."[

You either have the knack for wide crack or not.
But some die-hards have been known to work out, beef up, develop stamina, and carry massive cams.
They then find themselves the proud owners of pants with worn-out knees or ugly duck-taped knee pads.
These are badges of honor, along with scrapes all over they're bods.

JAYBRO has the knack, always has.
edit in the middle--This is Dingus McGee, as Gnome corrected me. He's an old tuffie, too.THIS person claims to be Jaybro. i haven't met him personally yet, so excu-u-u-se me.

The Post-Morning All-Weather Accu-Weather Weather Report
(with Michael Weatherly)
De rigeur quote by the Handsome Actor (so handsome his father is played by Robert Wagner!):
"You may remember me from NCIS, from where I jumped ship, deserted, and/or took French leave from that series after 13 years. If I were a sailor, which I'm not (THANK GOD), that would be criminal.
Your typical loyal follower might say, 'So much for loyalty.'And I wouldn't blame him. But NCIS has been the Big Dog in ratings for so long now, it really doesn't mean much.
And I'M SO DAMN WEALTHY IT'S A CRIME!"
Today's weather was like this, or at least here it was. Your weather may have varied.
And this is what the weather looked like at around 4:20 this aft.

I guess it would have been better, when starting out here, if I had been forthright .
If I had said I'm X & and so & so I've done X,y,z and a trip to the Ruth where I left no mark of worth,
what a waste
the partnership descended en-route to do a repeat assent.
And dissolved completely when 2 refused to climb up to continue climbing.
One, he headed down alone to not face me on the high ledge.
Phooked by a scared of dying in the mountains, wise guy.
His pedigree was Always going to assure him of satisfaction in having made the trip.
He did not join us to climb. He came to act as ballast his wallet was the heaviest.
All so long ago now, we've not spoken, nor the other guy either, since my wedding 18 years ago.
The non anonymous way? I did that but got schooled by the Internet.
So that when, as cover, took on my nom de plume for posting here,
I ruined my chances
With the most formidable and respected of the gents and ladies found here.
It was a scary thing to be laid up with internal injuries and I've got
That twisted Firesign sense of humor, mixed with a sedentary life.
If I could take back by half the things I've done since falling with to much slack in a solo rope system,
it would be all the Ice ream 1st, then I wish I'd worked harder ? At getting back. . .
My tone and health are rudie, I'm fit but heavy and not losing any weight.
I dream of hand traveling out roofs and turning lips of overhangs, I'll never see again
While hang from my bones , free climbing.
It is a mix of maladies the worst is my toes.
There is no way not to work those digits. Climbing happens on ones toes.
I'm real and was the real deal once for forty years. Now that is a life time so I'm not
complaining as much as I'm in morning.
The real me was 123# in long climbing pants, harness, and head band.
Now since crash in' to that ledge I'm 160# going way past if sitting on my arse.
Which is what I do mostly,
I'm the owner of rebuilt ACL's one the first done 20 yrs ago
is better than the one that is 7 years old.
That newer one was a botched ,( rushed? Heavy handed?) job.
The Dr was not working with me and clearly knew it, after the fact. . .
After the fact what to do?
I've learned long ago there is no rainbow for me to ride to some pot 0' gold.
I'm so lucky in my lot in life others would take all
no
full advantage, and train to get back what I've lost.
Time, I've got but motivation to workout, build back fitness, lose weight !
I can't find it.
I've tried, and keep goin' to a gym.
Where I might just fall asleep while sitting in a chair with rollers,
stopped, that ride a rail up & down
approximating a mesage. That as a laughable moment.
Ther are or have been various trainers, kids with good intentions
who have helped but it is up to me to get it done
And then?....?
The kid with top grades, mr 100 we call him, not to his face, mind you, we wouldn't want it to go to his head. He, because f me & this share, missed the school bus!

Fitness Hike
I've taken a hiatus
From fitness and trim
For a few days now
I've been thinking of quim
The snail's on the vine
Manifesting itself
In my rabid snail eye
I'm a gnome not an elf
And would that I'd be
Much fitter and kind
Than the young fart
That I was at one time
Forsook by an angst
Over climbing it's true
For all the trouble I take
And the friends I've gone through
With opinions I've spake
On a topic or two
Would I this voice to quell
If only that would do
Those rockers 'n' rollers
Sure got it right
Parading the hotties
What's there not to like
Like plant life and snails
I'll go riding my bike
And keep falling down
But continue to hike
I'll never give up
And I'll never turn tail
Till I'm pushing up weeds
For the pheasants and quails
--with apologies to Bushman, MFM

Something grate has happened in my life, just this morning!
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/2796149/Watchu-Talkin-Bout
All things considered, I've contemplated taking this show and shoving it once it reaches the 5,000th post.
Again.
There/their is a pattern in my life.
Only I can see it.
Only I can judge it.
Seeking no accolades, I simply want others to like me.
You can rest assured I won't really miss this as it's like a job.
I'm supposed to be retard.
I'm here collecting the weeges of mySins.
And you get to pay the dues.
And eKat is the BIGGEST TIGHT ASS on the ST.
I have my own list and she's the only person on it.
They're.
Pardon me, I have to go dry the drivel off my lips.
In the name of Jebus, let us spray.
As far as ST weege is concerned, my imitation of his language is a form of flattery.
if ur not gud w/that then foff

Keep that video cam rolling, would you? I'm not done.
If anyone clicks in here "accidentally," I'd be surprised as hell.
It's like yer clickin' on a porn site to check on updates.
Truth is out THERE, but this is the real skinny.
Nobiddies much different from anybiddy else.
We're all chickens scratchin' round lookin' fer somethin' satisfyin'.
This is CMacDonald's farm.
It's not Mr. McGregor's garden.
And I'm not Peter Rabbit.
I don't know or care to know where I am going with this.
I know nothing more than anyone else about why I do or write or say what I do.
I'm finally there, but I'm still not here.
